Two documents. None of it is a template.
The report tells you what your block can become. The study tells you whether it pays. The study is built on the report, because whether a development stacks up cannot be answered until you know what the land can lawfully carry.
The site analysis report: what the council will allow
Every rule that touches your block, checked against its actual boundary: zoning, slope, flood, bushfire, character, heritage, noise, easements and services.
Five options with the reason written out: granny flat, duplex, townhouses, apartments, subdivision, each marked straightforward, possible or not supported, with the council rule that decides it.
Read from the council's current planning scheme, with approvals near your block cited by number and date. A ninety day plan for whichever path you choose. The report is included in every Project Analysis, and if you bought it on its own first, it credits toward the study.
The feasibility study: whether it pays, on real numbers
The build is sized from what the council has actually approved nearby, never from a guess. Every cost line names its source, and an appendix lists where each figure came from and what replaces it.
Three cases side by side: cautious, expected and strong, with the tipping point where the answer changes. Your residual land value: the most you could pay and still hit your return. The funding test that catches deals that look good on paper but cannot be financed. Time is priced in.
Built on an owner basis (build, hold or sell) or an acquisition basis (your walk-away price as a buyer), whichever fits.
Priced to the project
Single site: $2,500
A second dwelling, a duplex, or a one-into-two split. The report plus the feasibility study on the pathway that survives, with a walkthrough call on your actual numbers.
Subdivision and multi-dwelling: $4,000
One-into-three and above, townhouses, or units. The same report plus feasibility study, sized to the larger project, with the yield, staging and funding worked through.
The tier is set for you, after the free look
You do not pick the tier from a menu. The free look confirms what your block actually supports and which tier fits, so you never pay for a study of a project the land cannot carry.
The study that showed building losing
On cautious prices: -$48,914
Building the duplex leaves the owner worse off than simply selling as it stands. The losing row is in the document he received.
On expected prices: +$62,323
On strong prices, +$155,777. Three cases sit side by side so the owner can see how far prices must move before the answer changes.
The line to watch: $1.58M
Both homes together must clear that line for building to win. The study put that number in front of him before a dollar of the $742,561 project was committed. The decision stayed his.
How it works
A report is only worth what it survives
These documents may end up in front of a town planner, so these limits are part of the product, not the fine print.
No. LandIntel is not a valuer. Any as-it-stands or land figure comes from recent nearby sales, shown in the document, and an independent appraisal replaces it before any money is committed.
No, and that is deliberate. The study states both end positions, the tipping point between them, and the workings. The decision belongs to you. Anyone who advises an owner what to do with their land has an interest in the answer. These fees are structured not to.
What the planning scheme states is stated plainly. Where the answer depends on drawings, the document says so and names the professional who confirms it. No outcome that depends on design is guaranteed.
The free look exists so you rarely pay to find out. If an order proceeds and the report stage finds no pathway, the report is delivered and the study portion is refunded or held as credit. The full report names the exact rule that closes each option and what could change it. Buyers knock prices down hardest for problems they imagine; a document naming the real ones earns its keep at the negotiating table.
Single site ($2,500) for a second dwelling, a duplex or a one-into-two. Subdivision and multi-dwelling ($4,000) for one-into-three and above, townhouses or units. The free look assigns the tier; you never pick it blind.
Send your address on this page, or email it to info@landintel.com.au, before ordering. Every block is reviewed within two business days, before any payment. Where there is nothing on it worth the fee, you are told so and no order is placed.
Five business days, counted from the day your confirmed figures arrive, not from payment. The research cannot begin without them. Each study is researched and written one at a time, and reviewed and signed by a named person before it is issued.
A pathway that turns out possible but does not stack up is the study doing its job: it just saved you from a lemon, and it is payable in full. If there is no pathway at all, you get the report and the study portion back. The research is the same work whether the news is good or bad, and it is done by a person. Your rights under consumer law are not limited.
Ipswich and Moreton Bay end to end as at July 2026; further councils as they come online. If your block sits elsewhere, email the address first and you will get a straight answer on whether the study can be produced for it.
